It is not certain whether this was to enable the hatchling to slit through the leathery egg shell with the tooth, or whether the condition was pathological. If pathological, this may be the first reported example of a birth defect in a dinosaur.

, Fig. 4), differing only in that some of the structures are underdeveloped; the dorsal neural groove is not as deep as that figured, nor are the basal tubera as prominent or as rugose. The occipital condyle, however, is well developed and separated from the main body of the basioccipital by a constricted neck. Sutural scars for the exoccipitals are present on each side of the dorsal neural groove and indicate that the exoccipitals contribute to only a small part of the occipital condyle, as in most theropods.
